Goodes Portable AM/FM Radio — Battery-Operated Transistor Receiver
Product description
High-sensitivity AM/FM receiver: Built with a DSP anti-jamming chip to improve sensitivity and reduce interference, this portable radio covers standard FM (87–108 MHz) and AM (520–1710 kHz) bands. A six-section, 16.5-inch telescopic antenna rotates 360 degrees to help lock onto distant stations and maximize signal strength so you can pick up music, news, traffic reports and talk programming in your area.

Simple controls and accessibility: The radio features an AM/FM band selector, a prominent channel tuner with a visible pointer for precise station selection, and a large volume knob for easy adjustment. The control layout is straightforward and user-friendly, making it suitable for seniors and children learning to operate a radio.
Battery-powered for emergencies: Designed to run on two AA batteries (batteries not included), this portable receiver is intended to be kept in a bag or emergency kit so you can stay informed during power outages, travel, storms and other disruptions.
Compact, rugged and portable: The radio’s compact housing is built to be carried comfortably in one hand and comes with a removable lanyard so it can hang from a belt loop, backpack or tote. Its size and robustness make it convenient for outdoor use, beach days, hikes, commutes or casual listening around the house.

FM performs much better than AM for me
AM pickup was limited in my location, but FM reception and music playback were very good. Recommend if primarily using FM.
